          Admission is free but a donation towards the infrastructure and performers costs would be greatly appreciated!

          The event is a collaboration between Resurgence Magazine, Holifield Farm Project, University College Falmouth, Research in Art, Nature and Environment (RANE), Transition Constantine and Hedgerow

          The event also falls on 350.org's - a day to move beyond fossil fuels.The goal is to get moving beyond fossil fuels—both symbolically by pouring into the streets in the thousands on foot, bicycle and other means of sustainable movement, and politically by bringing powerful demands to our leaders that day to move beyond fossil fuels to a 350ppm world. Mobilizing for individual and community solutions will continue to be important—but one of the main goals for Moving Planet is to demand government action, especially in places where governments are stalling on climate action despite the overwhelming urgency of the science.
